Dr. Sketchy au Centre Pompidou

February 20, 2012 10:15 AM

(some links may be NSFW) Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Paris branch recently took to the Centre Pompidou for a session of drawing and modernist art. Models were inspired by several paintings in the gallery, such as Otto Dix's Portrait de la journaliste Sylvia Von Harden (1926), Fernand Léger'sComposition with Two Parrots (1939), Man Ray's Ingre's Violin (1924), Robert Delaunay, Erté, and Pablo Picasso. Here are photos of the session as well as some of the sketches.

Now I know who Man Ray is. Today I've accomplished something.

Yet another reason to wish I lived in Paris.

Those are some fantastic costumes; I wish the photos came with lists of where to buy the clothing.
